When I was young, I was a storyteller. Then I was told I had no talent and never wrote again. As a book coach, I took such pride in helping others craft their stories, but never dared to call myself a writer. And now I write immersive worlds + beloved characters in video games!
Monday I braved an audition and sang in public for the first time in over ten years... I was so anxious and thought I sounded terrible, but I guess it wasn't as bad as I feared because now I'm a member of the local LGBTQ chorale :) 🎉🎵🌈
Make some noise for “The World of Metaphor: ReFantazio!" Panel from Anime Expo! 👏

LMAO the Atlus crossover we deserve!! 😂😂😂
This fanart is the *best*, thank you for putting my blue-haired protags with the adorable Phantom Thieves 🥰💖
concept: I stand in front of the Dreamspinner Press office like John Cusack in Say Anything, but instead of romantic pop music the boombox just blasts PAY YOUR FUCKING AUTHORS on repeat
@Mx_M_reads
@acosmistmachine
as long as that nest of vipers in the forums are loudly attempting to police what the RWA 'should' be and who it's for without censure we need to go harder, with more scrutiny and accountability than ever
*smiles and waves awkwardly*
hello everyone, how are you
I am an anxious depressed avoidant otter but I am back now, and I miss you all very very much <3
Since we're still being rightfully furious with Dreamspinner today, here's a reminder that when I was officially an unpaid proofreader I was also not paid for extensive line edits & sensitivity reads, and DSP has always been about making a profit and not supporting LGBTQ+ people
I just sent my CV off to a publishing non-profit who encouraged me to apply, so maybe this garbage fire of a week might have a single redeeming quality after all. (wish me luck 😊💖)
Interview went well, I think! I should be hearing about the position in about a week, wish me luck y'all 😘
And now I have treated myself to a bento and taiyaki from my favourite Japanese market, what a good day
@tiafielding
@MarjorieIngall
I desperately tried to edit the obscene amount of racism misogyny transphobia ableism biphobia etc etc SIGH in nearly every DSP ms I proofread but every goddamn time was ignored, even when I *begged* them not to publish. I'm still furious I could do nothing from inside to help :(
As appalling as RP situation is I hope it ignites a fervour in publishers to check their own policies & behaviours to instigate change. As a proofreader 4 another mm pub nearly every MS had instances of racism, misogyny, ableism, transphobia or bi-erasure I felt powerless to stop

🎇HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE RETURNED 🎇
I've been locked out of my account for 3 whole years! What a time to come back, eh? 😄🙃
Does anyone remember me? (Is anyone even still here?) I missed you!! 🥰💖
@SamAburime
I'm sorry, *danmei* is the better rep? The *not fetishy* rep?? LMAO aren't these the same kinds of people who think 2Ha is beyond toxic and should be banned XD
@maidensblade
@ClH2OArs
I was unceasingly harassed, verbally+physically abused by kids & adults my entire childhood for not being 'female' enough, not fitting in either binary, for being hilariously, deviantly WRONG. Gender is policed from an early age & anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves
@CatSWrites
@mirabel_chan
@mackenziewalton
Can you send me some actual stickers and I will put them on the actual books when I face them out on the shelf to actually sell them in the bookshop :D
I am absolutely loving how any mention of Cassie Clare on my TL reawakens all the bitter Fandom Olds (many of whom are now also publishing professionals) and unites us all in our mutual resentment and despair 🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽
@RomanceRehab
I just did a (melo) dramatic reading of this for my partner and now I'm tempted to record and share to truly ensure her writing ability receives the respect it deserves 🙃🙃
My children's department is once again the most profitable (by percentage) area over the past fiscal year in the bookshop. Why yes, I am amazing at my job, thank you thank you 😊📚🎉
It got a brief mention in the video, but
#MetaphorReFantazio

@RoanParrish
And when you point out all the deeply problematic (polite for 'offensive wtf') language, tropes, and characters before publication other stories in hopes of change you are dismissed and ignored and they do it anyway because they Do Not Care
